Abstract
A duty cycle management system and method for use in a wireless device having a transmitter which transmits packets in the form of individual packets and/or packet bursts. A controller in combination with an instruction set limits the number of packets transmitted during each time period defined by one time window or adjacent time windows, on a sliding basis, so as to limit the duty cycle of transmissions during successive adjacent time windows to the predetermined duty cycle limit. To do so transmission of packets is delayed as needed to establish sufficient idle period(s) during the one or adjacent time window(s) to maintain the duty cycle within the duty cycle limit.
